And so it begins, Build starts tonight on 1991 Winston Eagle. ML Boatworks frame work is very nice compared to dumas kits I've built in the past, going to be a little extra thought building this than in the past. More like a scratch build than a kit but am excited to get started and already looking forward to the completion (should take about 4 months). Built three hydros in the past but all were nitro so looking forward to getting into FE. Have been active in this forum now for about two weeks and there's a ton of info on this site to get the visual. Motor will be a Neu 1527 1Y or 1.5Y w/8mm shaft, Swordfish Pro 240 or 300 ESC, thinking about two battery setups (8s and 10s), all running hardware will be Speedmaster and will be built for the "thrill" at first but think I'd like to race it after I shake the cobwebs off. Any suggestions would be great and accepted since this will be my first FE build and looking forward to working on a project besides my house.
